Philadelphia Police Officer to Kenny Chesney: I'm Not Dead

Here are a few things we know about noted Cowboy Hat Wearer Kenny Chesney: He has sexy tractors. He drinks beer. He has some massive biceps. He's unafraid to film brave political manifestos that decry, among other things, Donald Trump, dolphins with hula-hoops, creating passwords, and heroin. But did you know that he also is brave enough to admit to his mistakes? Did you know that if he accidentally tells thousands of people that you're dead, he won't fight you on it when you try to correct him? He'll gather his pride and acknowledge that, yes, you are indeed not dead.

"Before we get going with the rest of the show, last night, a Philadelphia police officer was shot seven times. In the hospital on his bed ... he passed away, but before he passed away he made a video that he wanted to come tonight so bad, and he said, 'Kenny, please don't forget me.'"

It's a touching tribute to a brave police officer. But the problem is, Dorman didn't die. the police department posted a note on its Facebook page that pointed out that Dorman is alive and recovering from his wounds.

Check out this very much alive Officer Dorman on the phone with Chesney:

This should be a lesson to all of us: You should definitely fact-check a man's living status if you're going to tell thousands of people that he died. And, hell, if you get a few wrong from time-to-time, just promise to take that very much alive person to a football game.
